I noticed in the RV specs it mentioned it is 240 volts.. I assume this is an European model.... Designed for 240 volts because people there are smart enough not to play with live wires as opposed to an American 120 volt model.
The inverter is 110 volt
IF the assumption in the above is wrong, or the RV is an Americanized version so everything works on 120 volt. then that invrter can likely power your entainerment stuff... HOWEVER be warned..many of the 12 volt outlets epically the one on the antenna wall plate are NOT STRONG ENOUGH for that inverter. and plugging it in, best case,, you blow the fuse (worst case you melt the outlet) You may need to find an outlet powerful enough or add one.
If it is a rental.. you can get a clip on outlet that has battery clamps on one end of a heavy cable (Like 14ga or bigger) Even this is not enough
That inverter can draw around 30 amps (10ga wire needed or larger). Most 12 volt accessory outlts are rated 10 amps.. Heavy duty ones 20.
